Radio: Time for Brass

More music from over the Irish Sea from Manx Radio's Time for Brass.

Pontins
 

Time for Brass:
97.2, 89 and 103.7 FM and 1368 AM

The major companies and the privately produced recordings continue to make 'Time for Brass" an up-to-the-minute musical experience for our listeners.

Recordings

Recordings from Sun Life Stanshawe and Whitworth Vale & Healey, have been followed by releases by Dyke, Cory, Fodens, Leyland, ISB and Boscombe SA, plus a very special 'back number' from Cory, all of which are featured in this week's programme.

Contact

Texts, e-mails and phone calls from local listeners and those on the other side of the world continue to come in. I get the credit but it is the bands and the recording companies who make it possible.
